Having problems with your Sony VAIO PCV-RZ40C1B PC Desktop ?

Thank you shereena M but I've tried that and it still only loads to the windows prompt yet the icons are larger. Any other suggestions. I tried safe mode, last known working configuration. At that point it said an error occurred in my H: drive and that the error was corrected. I placed the old video card back in and tried same thing, windows prompt only then stops the cursor moves but nothing to click on.
